A strange shift has taken place in British culture. We've started treating multinational corporations as if they're staples of our national identity. Greggs, Wetherspoons, WHSmith – just because they've been around for years doesn't mean they're part of our heritage. They're not symbols of British culture; they're just big businesses exploiting the working class. These companies aren't interested in community or tradition; their only concern is profit. They leech off our labour, pay low wages, and strip local high streets of independent shops. It's time we stop romanticising these corporations as cultural icons and recognise them for what they really are: just another set of businesses squeezing every last penny from hard-working people.

“The United States is said to be a developed country in the capitalist world, but it is a corrupt and ailing country where there is a gulf between rich and poor as well as extreme social inequality, and all sorts of social evils are rampant. In the United States rich people live in luxury, whereas many people suffer from hunger and roam about the streets homeless. The United States has more cases of murder and robbery and more drug and alcoholic addicts than any other country. The United States also has more AIDS victims than any other country. The American way of democracy is not for the masses of the people,but for the privileged minority. Our compatriots here from the United States know the real state of affairs in that country better than we. It is foolish to harbour illusions about the United States and try to copy American democracy”

Tonight, France welcomes Israel’s team in Paris as if no genocide is taking place. Simultaneously, these are the pictures from Gaza when the IDF turned the Al Yarmouk Stadium into a concentration camp in 2023, before completely demolishing it.

❗️Do you know, that more Lebanese children have been killed and injured since last year than the total collective number of Israeli announced deaths and injuries both military and civilian in the past year?

Israelis, Jews, are hypocrites and evil. They are demons and hounds of hell, may they never witness any comfort or ease in life till they reach hellfire for eternity.

🇱🇻 - Operation "Resolute Warrior," the largest NATO exercise in Latvia, concluded Thursday after two weeks of multinational training in Vidzeme and Zemgale.

At a military base near Riga, troops practiced breaking through enemy defenses and retaking territory using Leopard 2 tanks and LAV4 armored vehicles.

During the NATO summit in Madrid that year, defense ministers from both countries signed a declaration to reinforce the alliance’s eastern defenses. Latvia's Defense Minister Andris Sprūds called the exercise "a clear demonstration of allied commitment to protect Latvia," highlighting the cooperation between NATO forces and Latvia’s military.

As the largest international exercise Canada has led since the 1980s, Operation Resolute Warrior tested the NATO Multinational Brigade's ability to deploy forces and maintain communication and control.

"We ensured that it wasn't just a Canadian-led exercise; it followed NATO standards, planning, and orders," said Canadian Army Colonel Cédric Aspirault, commander of the Multinational Brigade Latvia.
